The Food Resource Center (FRC) is a full-service stop for food and gardening resources. The space houses the food pantry, a student work and lounge space, the garden coordinator office and a library focused on all things food, including food systems issues, how to grow food and how to cook it. All Pacificans are welcome to use the space.
 

Pacific Food Pantry

The Pacific Food Pantry is a resource for students experiencing food insecurity. Located on the Stockton campus, the Pantry provides perishable and non-perishable food items, fresh produce, as well as hygiene and cleaning products for students in need. The Pantry is funded through the generous support of campus donors, and is operated through the office of the Dean of Students.

The resources below are available to currently enrolled Pacific students who self-identify as food insecure. Students are required to bring their Pacific ID when they visit, and when able, we ask they bring a reusable bag for their items.

Students on the Sacramento or SF campuses who do not visit the Stockton campus regularly should consider the Virtual Food Pantry for assistance (see details below).
